Panama Red anchors Haze x Panama Red. It is the tropical Panamanian sativa that made its name in the late sixties.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother and Father: Panama Red. The tropical Panamanian sativa that made its name in the late sixties. Parentage: a Panamanian landrace. For a stretch of the late sixties and seventies it was simply what the best weed meant, and that reputation is the only reason it survived to be preserved at all. It is worth being honest about what growing it involves: this is an equatorial plant that has never been bred for a tent. It wants the long finish, it stretches, and it will not behave like a modern hybrid. What it gives back is an effect the modern catalogue does not really make any more.
• Why it exists as seed at all. Clone-only cuts travel as cuttings, which means they survive only as long as somebody keeps them alive. Reversing one onto itself is how a plant like this stops depending on a single grower's luck.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

• The Aroma. Earth and citrus, with alpha-humulene and limonene leading.
• The Taste. Citrus over an earthy base.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. An equatorial landrace sativa with red running through green flower - the colour is where the name comes from.
• Vegetative Phase. Top or train before you flip rather than chasing the canopy afterwards.
• Flowering Time. Panama Red runs long, as equatorial sativas are - eleven weeks at the very least, and ten to sixteen is the usual range given. Start checking trichomes a week before you expect to be ready.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Panama Red as cerebral, euphoric and energising, quick enough to border on psychedelic. A daytime plant.
• The Body. Reported in line with that. This is not a plant described as pulling in two directions.
